Free streaming apps are great, but there are thousands to choose from. Take a look at this review of FilmRise to find out if it’s right for you. You can install this app on almost any device, e.g. Firestick, Fire Cube, Nvidia Shield, Android box, Chromecast, phones, tablets, PC and more.

The Amazon Firestick, a top contender in the streaming device market, is particularly popular for its affordability and the ease with which it can be jailbroken.

Where is FilmRise Available

As far as I’m aware, FilmRise is available worldwide. However, if FilmRise is not supported in your area, you may be able to use a VPN to bypass any location blocks.

NordVPN is my recommendation because it has solid unblocking capabilities. If you presently use IP Vanish as your VPN and want to unblock streaming services, I would consider switching to my recommended VPN. Despite IP Vanish being a safe and secure VPN, it does not have good unblocking capabilities. Furthermore, you will struggle to use streaming services based outside your location.

What Content Does FilmRise Have?

As FilmRise is a free service, don’t expect too much. There are plenty of titles you’ve never heard of, mixed in with old and new Hollywood successes. You certainly won’t find any new releases or blockbuster hits.

Streaming content is supported by subtitles and plays in HD 1080p for the majority of titles without any buffering. You can also bookmark videos you want to save to your list of favourites.

Wrapping Up

FilmRise certainly has an impressive quantity and variety of content. But this service will suit those looking for more obscure titles and those who want to re-watch older shows. If you want to watch the latest titles and releases, try an unofficial app such as BeeTV or FilmPlus.

Give FilmRise a try, and let me know your thoughts!
